Demarcação, já! (Demarcation now!). The more than 305 Brazilian indigenous peoples characterize a heritage of Brazil’s socio-cultural diversity reflected in their knowledge and ways of life with 274 languages and an immense variety of artistic and ritual expressions. The demarcation of Indigenous Territories (ITs), now paralyzed, is a basic condition for the survival for these peoples.

Most ITs in Brazil suffer invasions, impacts of construction works, and often indigenous people reap the perverse results of what happens even outside their lands, in the regions that surround them: pollution of rivers by pesticides, deforestation, etc. Nevertheless, in some Brazilian regions almost all that remains of the native vegetation is in the ITs and the Conservation Units.

We believe that the diversity and plurality of Brazilian society are fundamental to building another future for humanity and the planet.
